When an up and coming ice skater Michaela Glover is found murdered, Detective Amanda Steele and her partner Trent are called to investigate. There are a lot of twists and turns as they start combing through the life of this young victim-supposedly loved by all who knew her. But as the secrets of her personal life keep adding clues to her killer, Amanda and Trent must navigate through the suspect pool to find the truth.

Great addition to the series! As a side story, Amanda must face her relationship with her live in boyfriend. I also love the thought of Amanda and Trent's relationship being so reluctant- makes it fun to keep reading!

Well done! Can't wait for what's next!

I love this series with Detective Amanda Steele. A champion ice skater is killed and it’s up to Amanda and Trent to solve the murder. Things are not going well with her live in boyfriend Logan and will she end up with him or maybe Trent. Can’t wait to see.

Her Deadly Rose (Detective Amanda Steele Book 12) by Carolyn Arnold is an absolutely gripping and unputdownable crime thriller.

I was so excited to read this next installment. I am a huge fan of the Detective Amanda Steele series, and this book did not disappoint. I cannot wait to see what happens with Amanda, and I love her relationship with Trent.

Detective Amanda Steele is in a relentless pursuit of justice. The author's storytelling prowess shines through in this atmospheric and thrilling mystery, with credible characters and a plot that makes perfect sense. The book's action-packed sequences and heightened tension make it absolutely unputdownable and binge-worthy.

The author's masterful handling of foreshadowing and resolution adds to the overall appeal of this book and this series.

If you're a fan of mysteries and thrillers, "Her Deadly Rose" is a must-read that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.

A young champion skater is found dead. Michaela Glover was loved by many, who would want her dead?
Detective Amanda Steele and her partner, Trent investigate and everyone is a suspect.

Another transfixing investigation by Amanda and Trent who are helplessly attracted to each other. From the beginning, this book is gripping and suspenseful. With a massive twist when the killer is revealed.


Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.

This was quite the roller coaster ride. It was terrible to learn who the murderer was. There are a lot of twists and turns. Once again Amanda’s romantic timing is off. I’m happy for Trent though. Overall the book had a lot of sadness to it. The writing is wonderful. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

This was an interesting story.

I love the relationahip between Amanda and Trent.
Two detectives who gave each others backs and will do anything for each other.

The twist at the end will have you wanting to reach into the book and slap the killer.

I have read the entire series and Carolyn Arnold gets better with every book
Amanda Steele is a great character even with her flaws. Love Trent and the uncertainty between them is an.added draw as they solve the newest crime. Definitely recommendation

This was so much fun to read. I love a good thriller . The way this author wrote her characters and how there was a hint of mystery and then you find out how everything comes together in the end. Loved this!

Amanda and her partner Trent are called in to investigate a new case. The cause of death is quite clear. The name of the victim is known. Now, it's up to our dynamic duo to find out the person behind the murder. 

Of course a police team is nothing without the help of the CSI and the ME. They all have to work together like a well oiled machine in order to put the baddie behind bars as soon as possible and they do without a fail.

In the meantime, Amanda is still struggling with herself. In her private life, she has some thinking to do and I am happy she finally has cut the cord. I do hope this will trigger someone else into seeing the light. I cannot wait for this to happen.

This series never disappoints and I hope from the bottom of my heart the author has a lot more cases in store for this splendid police team.

I have had a few incredible suspenseful hours immersing myself in this book. 5 stars

Thank you

This is the twelfth in the Prince William County (VA) Detective Amanda Steele series. Amanda is enjoying a day off at an ice skating show with two of her friends and her adopted daughter. Her friend and colleague, Patty’s, niece, Michaela, is the star of the show.The pleasant day abruptly turns dark when a visit to Michaela’s dressing room finds her dead.There is a bunch of roses tied with a black ribbon and a card saying “you'll be sorry” left behind. Working with partner, Trent, to look into what turns out to be a murder, Amanda finds there are many investigative paths to pursue, especially after another dead body is discovered. On a personal level, will the obvious chemistry between Amanda and Trent continue to be a source of tension with her domestic partner, Logan?

This is yet another of Arnold’s fast paced, engrossing police procedurals. I read it in one day, long into the night, because I could not put it down. Arnold knows how to capture and maintain her readers’ interest. I love the repeating characters, especially Amanda who, despite an earlier tragedy in her life, is a strong, capable, independent female and I find the camaraderie among her colleagues quite entertaining. 

Although I have read quite a few of the books in this series and have enjoyed seeing the repeating characters and relationships change and grow,  I think this would work well as a standalone.  The author does a nice job of filling in background information, including Amanda’s past history.

Carolyn Arnold is one of my go to authors. She has written more than thirty books featuring five series and spanning different genre including strong police procedurals, cozy mysteries, and adventure novels. I also really like her Madison Knight series. Check her out!

Roses and a body…murder…this talented author has written a page turner. Red herrings kept me guessing…I like this author and this series…Amanda again…family and friends. Curl up in a comfy chair with a cozy blanket…a cup of steaming herbal tea…become lost in the world of Detective Amanda Steel. Thanks Netgalley.

Its amazing how well the Detective Amanda Steele series has been going, we're twelve books in and it has been a joy each book. The characters were everything that I wanted and thought it worked as a crime thriller novel. It was suspenseful and worked with what I was hoping for. I enjoyed the way Carolyn Arnold wrote this and am excited for more.
